The Dasam Granth is a composition primarily of the Tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh. The word 'Dasam' in Punjabi means 'Tenth'.

The Sri Guru Granth Sahib also known as Adi Granth is more than a Holy Book for the Sikhs. They honor this Holy Book as their Living and Perpetual Guru as ordered by tenth Guru Guru Gobind Singh ji and accord it the same respect as they did their ten human Gurus.
